Shrouded in a thin mist, the knife looked like a dark cloud with a horrid smell of blood permeating the air. Sets of footsteps could be heard behind Gu Changge as young figures appeared and turned into dazzling, yet terrifying divine rainbows that descended.

These figures were all the young prodigies, or ancient monsters, of the Upper Realm. Gu Xianer, Wang Zijin, An Yan, the King with Six Crowns, the Phoenix Lady, Chosen Monk Jin Chan, the Sky Demon Sovereign, the Successor of War Immortal Manor, and the Successor of Holy King Palace were among the crowd, each of their strength was far above Ye Hans.

Seeing this, the people from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains immediately fell gloom as a terrifying pressure like never before hit them. Even though only a handful of young beings were sent from the Upper Realm, each of them felt so powerful their auras seemed to engulf the entire world.

Theyre strong. Theyre way stronger than the one earlier.

The Successor of the Vermilion Bird War God Clan was a beautiful woman in battle armour. Her expression at this moment was extremely dignified. She glanced at those young beings before her eyes fell on some women. Someone looked back at her with eyes filled with divine light so brilliant it pained her eyes to the point of almost shedding tears. It was as though the ones in front of them were awe-inspiring young gods instead of a group of young men and women.

Theyre overconfident. Do they really think they can defeat me with just a few people?

The Successor of the White Tiger War God Clan was a burly man with a pair of eyes that looked different from the other. The deafening sounds of thunderstorms could be heard whenever he clenched his fists.

The other Successors, with Lin Wu and Xiao Yan in tow, came out at this moment. Lin Wu and Xiao Yan both felt different emotions rise in them. At this point, everyone was calm despite the bubbling fighting spirit from their hunger to kill the many talents of the Upper Realm.

*Boom!* In an instant, silhouettes of people started to fly out and fell towards the hunting ground in front. They were about to vent the anger and hatred that they had been holding in for a while. They were the proud youths blessed by heaven. No matter which era they were in, the opponents they looked for in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains could be considered their peers. They were held back by their Elders from fighting with Ye Han before, resulting in the deaths of two of their talents. At this moment, all they wanted was to put glory back into the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains name, wash the shame from the previous fight away and avenge the two who lost their lives.

Those of the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains are too damn weak. We dont even need to go all out when fighting them.

On the hunting ground, the King with Six Crowns, the Phoenix Lady, Gu Xianer, Wang Zijin, and the others came out, behind them were the huge and ancient forces. The King with Six Crowns merely glanced at the crowd before he shook his head. He didnt care much about this battle which further disappointed him after he witnessed the fight between Ye Han and his opponent. He wanted more to fight with the Sky Demon Sovereign and others.

Hes going to fight me.

A young prodigy from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains rushed over from the distance then, sending the mountains and rocks rolling as the ground trembled. The horned prodigy was extremely tall, and he had the blood of the Ox Demon Clan flowing in him. He was now staring at the King with Six Crowns, his angry copper bell-like eyes held a murderous look.

[I didnt think that someone would come looking for death like this. They should be glad that I hadnt gone to them instead.] The King with Six Crowns shook his head, his face cold. At the same time, he felt a sense of being underestimated. It was as if other young existences were actively looking for prey, but he was actively sought by the prey! This somewhat irked him to the point of wanting to kill someone.

Youre looking to get yourself killed. The King with Six Crowns growled while glaring at the horned man. Despite the latters good looks, the aura seeping out of his whole body was too strong as if he was surrounded by a sea of blood-coloured stars bathed in supreme divine brilliance. Every step he took with a black spear in his hand resulted in waves of overwhelming momentum.

Niu Ming! A voice called out from the sky. Xuang Gang had noticed the King with Six Crowns terror. Hes stronger than he looks. Dont lower your guard.

Die! The person called Niu Ming roared, and didnt hesitate to attack the King with Six Crowns with as much strength as he could muster. As his body boiled with divine power, his strength of Qi and blood shot out of his skull and pierced the sky.

Having two experts fight against each other was earth-shattering. Now that their cultivation had reached the Sacred Lord Realm, the destructive power they caused was unimaginably terrifying. Glows from their spears would occasionally fall to the ground like stars.

Just about ten attacks later, a muffled groan could be heard, and the place was soon soaked in fresh blood. With a bang, the body and soul of the living being called Niu Ming exploded.

This scene shocked the many Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains experts who were paying close attention to this battle.

Niu Ming was a strong and famous young prodigy of the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. But in the hands of the King with Six Crowns, he couldnt even make five moves before he was killed. This made the looks on everyones faces turn solemn. Even though the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains seemed to have won in number, each and every one of the young prodigies of the Upper Realm was extremely frightening.

In the other direction, Gu Xianer, Wang Zijin and the others also found their target, and had started to attack. A terrifying battle that violently shook the sky and earth broke out here. Strong wind began to blow, making sand and rocks fly while the sky shook. Everyone had an opponent in front of them, and since there was a large number of young prodigies in the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, the young prodigies from the Upper Realm would often have to fight against a few people at the same time. It might look somewhat shameless, but since the Upper Realm only dispatched a few people, the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains would have to take whatever advantage they could.

The Masters of many forces in the Upper Realm had been watching this battle from high in the sky with an expression of indifference and contempt. Theyre grouping up, but still theyre no opponent for our youths. How embarrassing. Its just a pointless struggle theyre putting up before they die.

[This is bad. Were too far behind compared to them. We might have more people, but we arent their opponent.] An Elder from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains almost coughed up a mouthful of blood. His face quickly fell when he saw his favourite disciple exploding and turning into bloodmist as soon as his opponents palm thrusted forward.

The gap in strength was too great. Even Xuan Tian, the Successor of the Black Tortoise War God Clan, had fallen. His opponent was the Sky Demon Sovereign, who was constantly suppressing him, making his whole body tremble as he coughed up blood. Even his powerful and strong physical body almost crumbled as cracks appeared like he was porcelain.

On the other side, Gu Xianer was attacking with Celestial Energy in her palms, her dress aflutter. With a wave of her hand, sword-like beams condensed in the void, making a clunking sound before it shot at the prodigal damsel in front of her.

*Swish!* Her overflowing power put a hazy brilliance on every inch of her snow-white skin. As if cutting down stars from beyond the sky, a Heavenly Sword with peerless sharpness slashed down.

*Fwoosh!*

There was a movement in the void behind her at this time. A strong young man with a robust body suddenly approached her. He must have wanted to ambush her as he thought that this shockingly beautiful young woman in front of him was weaker than the others. However, Gu Xianer seemed fairly unperturbed despite being surrounded. It was as if she had already sensed it. Her white and small fist looked as though it was carved from jade, but when she threw a punch, a loud bang sounded, and she pierced through the void and blasted away the person sneaking up on her. The pearl white fragments of bone, accompanied by bloodmist, sputtered everywhere.

Seeing the frightening scene, the opponent in front of her unknowingly stepped back, shock evident on his face. He didnt expect this young-looking damsel to be so powerful.

However, Gu Xianer was way faster than him. A pair of black and white wings seemed to appear behind her back, and she suddenly darted across the space, quickly reaching and ending him. Now that she had finished off the two, Gu Xianer glanced into the sky. She happened to catch sight of Gu Changge, who had been paying attention to what was happening around her.

She couldnt help but snort, disgruntled. Although she knew that Gu Changge was worried that something would happen to her, she still felt that he was underestimating her.

Seeing this scene, the others from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains quickly backed away. afraid of her.

Xuang Gang, who has been closely watching the battle, noticed how Gu Changge seemed to be paying special attention to Gu Xianer. He couldnt help but narrow his eyes slightly and ask, Whats your relationship with her?

Gu Changge withdrew his gaze to look at Xuang Gang instead. Seemingly intrigued, he hummed, Start getting ideas about her, and Ill kill you.

When he felt Gu Changges unadulterated murderous intent, Xuang Gang couldnt help but turn slightly pale even when he was a True Daoist. He even shuddered when he felt the chill that crept up his back. I was just asking, he huffed. He didnt want to appear weak in front of everyone from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains.

However, the devious thoughts he had went as quickly as they came. It might seem like a good idea to threaten Gu Changge with that girl, but he knew that they would be killed by Gu Changge before they could even lay their hands on her.

Thatd better be the case. I hope you dont think your people are safe just because you have the Aether Abyss protection, Gu Changge nonchalantly mentioned with a smile.

There was a strange look in his eyes when he looked in the direction of the ancient battleships of the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. Even though they were located within the Aether Abyss, they were actually not that far away from this place. If he wanted, he could keep everyone here, albeit with the risk of exposing a lot of his plans.

And so, Gu Changge waited for the right time.

The Aether Abyss wouldnt be able to protect the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains for long. Furthermore, Gu Changges declaration of challenge was a means to drag it out until the army from the Upper Realm could all get here.

All these were obvious, even to the other side. That was why it caught them by surprise when it turned out Gu Changge had actually planned something more, and was now waiting for the perfect timing.

The Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains had no idea that the Sky Deer Goddess had surrendered to Gu Changge.

What do you mean? Frowning, Xuang Gang obviously didnt expect Gu Changge to say this. Some of the Ancient Beings behind him were also puzzled by Gu Changges words at a time like this.

Just that Ill have everyone stay here. Gu Changge let out a small smile that didnt reach his eyes. Xuang Gang and the rest, on the other hand, instantly had a shocked expression.

What do you mean? Xuang Gang asked in a low voice, his eyebrows still pulled together. He knew what Gu Changge wanted. You think whether we leave or not is up to you?

Behind them was the Aether Abyss, which they could leave through any time. Meanwhile, for the Upper Realm, they wouldnt dare give chase so long as they did not know the route through the Aether Abyss.

Gu Changge continued to reply casually, Of course. His eyes slowly swept across the hunting ground below, and with a flick of his sleeves, a vast starry sky seemed to appear.

*Rumble* As Dao rumbled, hundreds of millions of Principles turned into a waterfall that gushed in from all directions. It was as if they were trying to refine this world.

This!

The sudden commotion instantly attracted a great number of people from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains. They felt as though their breaths had been sucked out of them when the sky trembled, and every inch of the void was filled with the mighty and terrifying pressure of a supreme expert. Everyone shook like they were about to burst open.

Like the lord of all worlds, Gu Changges Dharma Body sat cross-legged in the sky, surrounded by endless silver sacred flames that seemed to burn everything into ashes. A thundering noise that sounded like a thousand calvary soon rang out from the depths of the Aether Abyss as if trying to annihilate all signs of life!

The terrifying momentum came from behind the people of the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains.

It all happened so quickly that everyone was left stunned and startled. They could not comprehend why there was an army from the Upper Realm who had appeared out of nowhere, and was now encircling and trying to take them down. [How did they even penetrate into the depths of the void?]

Not only the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, but even the rest of the youths from the Upper Realm were also taken aback by the sight. [What is going on?!]

Those who were fighting on the hunting ground were also shocked by the unexpected turn of events. Not even the Dharma Bodies of the rest of the supreme experts had expected this.

In fact, Gu Changge had never thought of playing with them before this.

How did you Xuang Gangs face was completely dark now as fright and fear filled his heart. He didnt think Gu Changges backup plan was for the petrifying Upper Realm Army to join the fight. However, now wasnt the time for him to wonder about this.

Kill him! Hes the only threat here! As long as the Boundary Marker Sea hasnt dried up, neither he nor the True Daoists from their side will be able to come over here. Hes the only one we have to kill! Another supreme expert from the Lu Clan instructed. He also looked solemn, and without hesitation, he started attacking his enemies.

Immediately, he spewed out a bright green glow, in which the Celestial Beam spread out like a galaxy! This was a powerful ancestral technique that contained terrifying corrosion and water from the Netherworld Spring which held the Principles of Life and Death. A greater volume of it could even corrode the universe.

The other Masters from the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains were also launching one powerful attack after another, the glow so brilliant it reflected the sky, causing the void to collapse. The River of Time then loomed, and the universe was in turmoil as the sun and moon exploded!

There was even an extremely ancient expert who swung his large hand down, pushing World Principles aside as he tried to kill Gu Changge with the quake.

All this was too appalling. It was as if the world would return to Chaos as it got close to destruction. Even the Principles were about to be smashed to smithereens.

Every single one of the ancient battleships shook when the wave hit them. They could only raise their protective barriers to resist.

[Whats going on? Why did war suddenly break out?] All from both sides still hadnt realised what was happening. They initially thought that this battle was only one between the younger generations of the two sides. They didnt at all expect the True Daoists to join in the fight.

[We cant join.] The looks of many True Daoists of the Upper Realm changed drastically. There was no way they could win against this group of people when they were only using their Dharma Bodies. The most they could do was hold their opponents off for a while. Still, they rushed out, trying to share some of the pressure with Gu Changge.

*Boom!* Right then, the Celestial Seal of the Nine Mountains on Gu Changges head lit up, and power as strong as a tsunami started accumulating in his direction.

The next words they heard from Gu Changge was an emotionless Like I said, youre all staying here.

As he unleashed an ancient technique, a universe that engulfed every corner of the world seemed to emerge behind him.

*Rumble!*

Hundreds of millions of rays of light poured out as divine lights intertwined. They were like the dazzling lights of the Path of the Great Dao. Around his hands were countless planets. With a simple wave, Chaos Qi bloomed as they rushed forward.

The True Daoist from the Lu Clan immediately froze. [He may have the Celestial Seal of the Nine Mountains, but hes alone. He wont be able to fight against all of us.]

He quickly changed into his True Form, which was a mysterious and ancient towering giant tree. It dripped with endless brilliance, and it seemed to tear the universe apart as it stood straight and tall in the world. Galaxy-like vines then cut towards Gu Changge like a divine sword.

The other True Daoists took advantage of this opportunity to preserve their powers. Since Gu Changge was the one who set them up first, they definitely wouldnt let their chance to defeat and kill Gu Changge here slip. Someone else also turned into his True Forma giant Nine-Headed Golden Bird, each of those heads dripping with Principles as they seemed to be cast with radiant Purest Celestial Gold.

He roared a peerless war cry, intending to smelt the universe and attack Gu Changge. Hundreds of millions of living beings trembled under the terrifying fluctuation, and their souls even seemed like they were going to break.

Many young prodigies who were fighting also stopped in unison to watch the scene unfold fearfully. All of them had artifacts on them to protect themselves against him, lest they were killed by the aftermath of the roar.

Gu Changge fought against the three True Daoists by himself.

Most True Daoists thought that it was due to the blessing of the supreme treasure, the Celestial Seal of the Nine Mountains. However, there were those from the Upper Realm, who only had their Dharma Bodies, who could not help but wonder just how powerful he was. After all, this feat not only showed how extraordinary the Celestial Seal of the Nine Mountains was, this was also evidence that Gu Changge himself was frighteningly strong.

[Just how powerful is he really?] The King with Six Crowns and the rest of them felt their stomachs drop. Their intention to fight Gu Changge was long gone at this point. Not even the size of a wide river was enough to describe the gap in strength between them.

*Fwoosh!*

A fierce battle broke out in the depths of the universe, shocking everyone. Unlike before, the expression on Gu Changges face now had changed. He swiftly pointed a finger at Xuang Gang when he saw the latter charging at him, and a sword energy of murky scarlet red and coal black pierced through the universe and shot towards him!

This was the supreme attack contained in Gu Changges understanding of Dao.

*Puf!* Xuang Gangs arm now had a hole in it. His body, despite being as sturdy as a Black Tortoises, also burst open, resulting in a bloody mess.

The next moment, Gu Changge lightly asked, Do you really understand whats going on?

He then sent a golden, wide palm with clear palm lines in Xuang Gangs way. It was like the palm of God entwined with Chaos Qi, with a galaxy manifesting in it!

With another loud bang, the Lu Clans True Daoist froze, and the giant tree exploded into bits when the palm met his body.

His soul was getting scorched as he tried to escape using his supreme Secret Technique. However, Gu Changge, who had anticipated this attempt, had a glow between his eyebrows. His Primordial Spirit walked out. The tiny figure then opened his mouth and roared, spewing out a bright galaxy that turned into a bronze Celestial Sword that he unhesitantly struck the True Daoists with!

The few True Daoists were injured in just a short period of time. Seeing this, everyone on the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains ancient battleships grew terrified. Some shook in fear, while others fell into despair.

The remaining experts from the Upper Realm quickly shouted, Kill them!

The monstrous army on the ancient battleship behind them immediately rushed forward upon hearing that.

In the depths of the Aether Abyss, another mighty army was also charging to where the battle was from a bright altar that had been built. They were closing in on the Eight Wastelands and Ten Domains, sealing off their escape route.
